On the "least amount of HTML possible" theme here's a version using only "class", e.g.

<p class="2 ︎"/>

Doesn't include the card centers, but does have top and bottom corners.

EDIT: HN doesn't seem to like unicode characters? The class should include the suit symbol.

I think I'll stick with good old elements :)

Thanks anyway, and I really appreciate true CSS ::-wizards, don't get me wrong.. ;)
